Sheephead are still biting

3/27/2016

Last week the sheephead showed up for work. The beginning of the week the bite was red hot on the tide switches. The sheephead have moved out to the jetties, and the bite has been good when the weather allows us to make it out there to fish the rocks. These fish put up a great fight and are awesome for dinner. It takes patience, a steady hand, and a sharp eye to get hooked up to them. The saying is typically "if you felt them bite, your bait is probably gone if they aren't hooked up." Here are some of our recent clients showing off their trophies. Even the boss lady "Anna" got in on some of the action, pictured in the first picture.

Great news! The rental ban has been lifted and summer is here. Fishing has been great over the past couple weeks and we are booking up fast. Make sure to call asap to get on the books. Check out below what we have been catching.

Here lately on our inshore bay fishing charters we have been catching a variety of species. The redfish continue to be a target as these fish are a year around fishery for the Destin, Florida area. We are catching there around structure as well as on grass flats. The Spanish mackerel and bluefish bite has been red hot trolling artificial lures, casting jigs, and using live baits when we are able to find good sized ones. With the fin baits starting to show up on the grass flats, the grass flats fishing is starting to happen with speckled trout, redfish, spanish mackerel, and bluefish mixed.

On our inshore gulf fishing charters the bite has been good as well. While trolling we have been targeting king mackerel, spanish mackerel, and amberjacks. Amberjacks are still in season untile June 1st. While bottom fishing we are targeting a mix bag of snappers including white snapper, mingo snapper, and mangrove snappers along with triggerfish and redsnappers.

Red snappers and trigger fish are out of season but still make for great time to perform "CPR" (Catch, Photograph, and Release)

Summer break 2020 is here and we are happy to be fishing every day again. Give us a call to get out fishing while visiting Destin, Fl. this year.
